The Vietnamese women's team was eliminated early in the World Cup group stage after two losses to the United States and Spain. This result was predictable because the level of coach Mai Duc Chung's team was far behind that of their opponents.

Although they are just the underdogs in Group E, if Huynh Nhu and her teammates do not score a goal, it will leave a certain regret. The Southeast Asian teams Thailand and the Philippines, when playing in the World Cup, not only scored goals, but also created historic victories.

The Vietnamese women's team has almost lost hope of scoring a goal at the World Cup, but that's okay.

In fact, the Vietnamese women's team expected to make a difference in the match against Portugal, but their complacency and impatience made coach Mai Duc Chung's team pay a heavy price.

After more than 180 minutes, playing defensively like when facing the US, or playing offensively when facing Portugal, the Vietnamese women's team still could not avoid losing outright.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands can create even more terrible pressure than the US and Portugal did, because this team needs to win as much as possible to compete for the top spot. The superiority of the current runner-up team helps them to completely control the game when playing against the Vietnamese women's team. This team has prepared very carefully and is not subjective, when they sent "spies" to study coach Mai Duc Chung and his team 3 months ago.

From the previous two matches, perhaps the Vietnamese women's team should not be too concerned about the goal of having to score so as not to "lose to their friends". The demand now is a beautiful image in the farewell match of the 2023 World Cup.

The important thing is to enjoy and bring the image of Vietnamese women's football to the world.

That image is the spirit of fighting until the last minute, the way of playing, resilient, not allowed to give up even when losing heavily. Instead of having to worry about how to deal with the opponent, finding a counterattack to score a goal of a lifetime, Huynh Nhu and her teammates should promote all their strength as a spiritual weapon.

To be fair, the Vietnamese women's team just need to enter the field with a relaxed spirit, fight to the best of their ability and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere at the World Cup against the current runner-up Netherlands, that is enough for the "diamond girls" and fans at home.
